Trivet Bistro website template

Trivet is for bistros, brasseries and all-day restaurants that serve from breakfast until the bar closes. One long page, dark photograph bands around a white menu, carries your story and hours, a menu in four tabs, press quotes, your photographs, a map and your address and phone, and a second page takes table requests.

About the Trivet template

Built for a restaurant open from breakfast to late

Trivet suits a neighborhood restaurant, diner, brasserie or bistro: one long page that reads like walking in, and a page for table requests.

What's on the site

  • Home — a dark food photograph under a big headline; your story and hours on a card over it; a menu in four tabs with dishes and prices joined by a line and one section in each tab outlined to stand out; press quotes one at a time; eight photographs that darken and zoom when pointed at; a map; your address, phone and email with a reservation button.
  • Reservations — a table-request form beside your hours and a number for large parties.

What to know

The menu, hours, quotes and photographs are samples you write over, edited like a list. Table requests land in your inbox for you to confirm; there is no online ordering. Replace the press quotes with coverage you have actually received, or remove them. The 'Before you publish' checklist names every sample.

When to pick something else

Trivet is the wrong template for these. Where there is a better one, it is linked.

  • Tasting-menu or chef's-counter fine dining — try Juniper
  • Coffee shop, tea room or bakery counter — try Latte
  • Pub, pizzeria, taco stand or food truck with a short board — try Beacon
  • Restaurant not open yet, collecting names for opening night — try Hearth
  • Link-in-bio hub for a venue's Instagram — try Amber
  • Takeaway or delivery ordering

Questions about Trivet

Can I show breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks menus?

Yes. The menu has four tabs, each with sections of dishes, notes and prices you edit like a list. Rename or remove a tab to match your service.

Can guests book a table?

They can send a table request: date, time, party size and notes land in your Sitelas inbox for you to confirm. It does not hold the table by itself; if you use a booking service, point the reservation buttons at it instead.

Who is Trivet for?

Trivet is built for an all-day restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a diner or brunch spot with a long menu and a brasserie open from breakfast until late. Not built for tasting-menu or chef's-counter fine dining — try Juniper instead.

What pages come with Trivet?

2 pages, already written and laid out: Home and Reserve a table. Add, rename or remove pages whenever you like.

Can Claude or ChatGPT build my site from Trivet?

Yes. Connect Sitelas to your AI agent and ask for a site that uses Trivet. It fills in your details, sends you a preview link, and publishes when you approve. The same chat can keep running the site afterwards.

Can I change Trivet without code?

Yes. Click any text, photo or colour to change it in the visual editor, or ask your AI agent to make the change. Nothing is locked.

What does it cost?

Nothing to start, with no trial clock. A free site runs on a sitelas.com address; Pro is $9 a month per site ($90 a year) for your own domain, analytics and more room.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, on Pro. Point your domain at the site and the SSL certificate is issued and renewed for you.
